Fancied winger extends stay

Frickley Athletic winger Tyler Williams has signed a contract to keep him at the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League's Blues until the end next season.

The twenty-year-old joined the club last summer having finished the previous season at Leek Town. Williams, has been in impressive form with his creative play, scoring four goals in 35 starts to help the Blues enjoy a successful season.

In a club statement, Frickley Athletic chairman Gareth Dando and manager Karl Rose said they were both delighted to have secured the pacey attacker's immediate future at Westfield Lane.

Dando said: “It’s fantastic that Tyler has committed himself to us, not only for the rest of this season but for next season too. Karl Rose has put together a decent squad of players this season and it’s great to get a player of Tyler’s quality secured as we look to build on this season.”

Rose added: “Williams is another young player who has improved during his time at the club. He has been a constant threat for us this season and I’m delighted that we have been able to convince him that his immediate future lies with us.”

The Blues boss is also tipping the winger to go far if he takes their advice. "Following on from the success in developing Reece Thompson and Simon Lenighan which enabled them to achieve contracts at Football League clubs, we believe that with hard work and the same type of continuous improvement made from the start of the season, that Tyler could have similar opportunities of playing professional football."
